ca_gere Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 16 down! 1. Lev Grossman - Magician's Land2. Christina Faust - Fringe: Zodiac Paradox 3. Benjamin Saez - Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe4. Catherynne Valente - The Girl who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of her own Making5. Suki Kim - Without You There is no Us: My Time with the Sons of North Korea's Elite6. Roxane Gay - An Untamed State7. Eric Lichtblau - The Nazis Next Door: How America Became a Safe Haven for Hitler's Men8. Megan Abbott - Dare Me9. Ben Montgomery - Grandma Gatewood's Walk: The Inspiring Story of the Woman who Saved the Appalachian Trail10. Ben Aaronovitch - Rivers of London11. Ben Aaronovitch - Moon over Soho12. Ben Aaronovitch - Whispers Underground13. Ben Aaronovitch - Broken Homes14. Ben Aaronovitch - Foxglove Summer15. Sylvia Plath - The Bell Jar16. Harper Lee - To Kill a Mockingbird Started with some relatively light fare (not including the Lev Grossman book - highly recommend the series, brilliant stuff), a little non-fiction and then five books about a London constable who becomes a wizard. Third book in the series is a little weak but overall very entertaining and there's a good continuous arc going that's working up to a big endgame. Last two were ones I've been reading to read for AGES but never got round to. Don't know what to read next, but spoiled for choice. You read even when you're not reading to read.

KarmaTsunami Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 You're flying!!! How did you enjoy Harper Lee? A great deal. I found myself going back and re-reading passages, particularly conversations between Atticus, Scout and Jem. Genuinely timeless, and it made me really sad to think that a lot of what's written there can still apply to things happening in the world today, i.e Ferguson. You read even when you're not reading to read. I meant 'meaning to read', but clearly I was just so much about the reading that I reading read.

Spoonie Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yeah, I know what you mean about the re reading and the timelessness. The fact it's the father trying to make sense of it for himself plus trying to explain it to his kids that makes it so powerful. Ace book. I've ticked off a couple more that of been chipping away at, yesterday so will update next chance I get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroopy121 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Finished (and ADORED) To Kill a Mockingbird. Incredible piece of writing. Looking forward to the "sequel"/"prequel" thing that's getting released. I also audio-booked Animal Farm, so that puts me on 3 this year including the first Game Of Thrones book (which, to recap, is the biggest box of shit I've ever read). Also read a bunch of Punisher comics, so if I count those as books I'm WELL on track for 50 books this year. Next up - The Moon King by Neil Williamson. http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Moon-King-Neil-Williamson/dp/1907069623. xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoonie Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Only just crept over the 40 mark after a lot of parenting and a lot less reading. Driving hasn't helped either because it's taken away crucial public transport reading time!
